Eagles Sign Former Giants Pass Rusher Azeez Ojulari to a One-Year Deal
The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement with former New York Giants edge rusher Azeez Ojulari on a one-year contract. Ojulari, a talented pass rusher, was among the names speculated as a potential target for Philadelphia, and the team’s general manager, Howie Roseman, has now secured the deal to bring him to the Eagles.
Ojulari entered the NFL as a second-round pick in the 2021 draft after a standout college career at Georgia. During his rookie season with the Giants, he quickly established himself as a disruptive force on the defensive line, recording 8 sacks and demonstrating his ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks. However, injuries hampered his availability over the past two seasons, limiting his overall production. Despite those setbacks, Ojulari remains a skilled and explosive pass rusher capable of making an impact when healthy.
The Eagles have been looking to bolster their pass rush this offseason, and adding Ojulari provides them with another option to strengthen their defensive front. Philadelphia has historically placed a strong emphasis on building a deep and effective defensive line, and Ojulari’s signing aligns with that strategy. His ability to create pressure off the edge and disrupt passing plays will give the Eagles an additional weapon in their defensive scheme.
By signing a one-year deal, Ojulari will have an opportunity to prove himself in a new system while working alongside an established defensive unit. If he can stay healthy and return to his early-career form, this move could be a valuable addition for both the player and the team.
As the Eagles continue preparing for the upcoming season, more details on Ojulari’s role and potential impact will emerge.
